I wouldn’t recommend anyone to work here.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The founder duo and the overall leadership team need to be reconsidered.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The work atmosphere in the sales department was unparalleled. Unfortunately, the performance and incredible successes of the sales department were always downplayed. The “successes” of other departments were consistently valued and celebrated, even though in other companies, they would have been considered significant losses.
I never felt like a part of the team in total.
Kommunikation
It is often said that communication is the most important thing. At PowerUs, however, it’s more about pretending to communicate.
The teams communicate extremely poorly with each other, relying on countless tools that often lead to miscommunication or go nowhere.
The worst communication, however, is with the founder responsible for the commercial department.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team cohesion in the sales department is outstanding, but it is nonexistent with other departments.
Work-Life-Balance
What is outstanding is the opportunity to do home office and workation!
Unfortunately, the commercial founder deliberately ensures that working hours are strictly monitored, and messages being sent during weekends, etc.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Catastrophic leadership behavior, including micromanagement. Decision-making processes are neither transparent nor rational.
Goals are unattainable, and failure to achieve them is carried on the backs of employees, who pay for the leadership’s incompetence through their lost bonuses.
Interessante Aufgaben
The work was highly repetitive, as the product is straightforward and has little to do with SaaS.
Simple product that is not really evolving and simple customers.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The air conditioning runs while the windows are open, a massive office space is available, but less than half of it is used—yet it is still heated and lit.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
The salary is good, but only if the targets are achievable. Bonus structures seem to be constantly adjusted, as are pricing models, which directly impact the ability to meet those targets. The founder doesn’t understand why the team “earns so much money” and expects everyone to prioritize the company over their own salary.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No opportunity for professional growth.
There is no one to learn from, and no chance to attain a higher title.
